A year ago, our parent company burned down. Our products were there. They were then affected. We obviously removed them all, stored them for disposal. We recently commissioned and paid a company to destroy and recycle them. To our great surprise, we learned in the last few days that an illegal seller was enjoying offering them at ridiculously low prices (on Kijiji, Marketplace, and others).
Let's be clear: we paid a company to destroy the products and recycle the containers. So no matter how tempting the price is, don't fall for it. We threw them away! These products were altered due to the La Prairie fire, among other things. They are obviously past their prime and unfit and dangerous for use! A boastful employee or friend of the famous recycling company is offering you these products in large quantities. The suggested meeting locations were an apartment on Maisonneuve Street West and the Atwater metro station. Don't be naive, we threw away these products: we first quarantined them and then paid to have them destroyed. Don't put your health at risk. And don't encourage this criminal in his shady business. This poor guy is in no way authorized to represent Maison JAcynthe or to sell Maison JAcynthe.
We contacted the police, who could do nothing, and the seller in question, who took advantage of the situation to try to blackmail us and get money from us, and then even later, to gather people against us.
I reiterate the fact that the only and unique places to get our products are online from us, in our 6houses, from our distributors (Avril & Brunet) and certain independents identified on our site.
I invite you to share this announcement widely. And we will provide you with the name of this disreputable company shortly. Please know that if you have been in contact with this seller, if you will be in the near future, you have the right, not us, to call the police. These products are unfit for consumption, we have warned the individual in question and he is increasing his efforts to liquidate them, in a completely immoral and irresponsible manner.
What can I say... We've definitely seen it all this year!
Furthermore, unfortunately, we cannot predict how these sales may turn out, see the following article from the Journal de Montréal: Object put up for sale on the internet: at least one shot is fired during the transaction.
